NECKTIE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented 13,.19115Q Application filed. November 13,1913. Serial No. 301,673.

invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This inventionrela tes to improvements in neckties and more particularly to such as comprise tying ends which are wider than the intermediate neckband,-the object of my present invention being to so construct a neck-tie of the type specified, as to facilitate the adjusting and tying of the same when used with turn-down collars.

A further object is to provide aneck-tie with a neck-band portion which shall be strong and substantial in structure; which shall be readily movable between the folds of a-turn-doWn collar during adjusting of thetie; and which shall operate to hold the tie in place after it shall have been adjusted and tied.

With these objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts as hereinafterset forth and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of a necktie embodying my improvements, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view.

My improved tie comprises three portions or sections, viz., end or tying sections 1, 1, and an intermediate neck-band section 2 of a different material. The end: or tying sec' tions 1, 1, may be made of any desired light material such as silk, and each may be folded so as to present a general tapering ap pearance,the smaller ends of said sections being united to the ends of the neck-band section by stitching.

The neck-band section 2, is a tubular woven or knitted fabric, the ends of which are preferably cut /-shaped and receive the narrow ends of the tie-portions or sections 1.

i A li ningor padding strip 3 of any suitable material extends through the tubular neckband section and its ends pro ect into the foldedportions of the tying sections 1, 1. When the several parts of the tie shall have been assembled, they will be stitched together as at at along the beveled edges of the ll-shaped ends of the tubular neck-band section 2,-said stitches passing through said V-shaped ends of the tubular section 2; through the inserted narrow .ends of the tying sections 1, 1, and through the lining of padding strip 3' and thus serving to unite the tying sections with the tubular neckband section and securing the lining against longitudinal displacement in the latter. The tubular neck-band section is so woven that it will constitute 'a narrow flattened tube which will be capable of withstanding the pull necessary in manipulating neck-ties of this character when worn with turndown collars, without injury to or distortion of the more delicate material of the tying end portions 1, and while the said tubular neck-band section possesses great stability, still it may he slid between the folds of the collar with sufficient freedom to facilitate necessary adjustment of the tie. The lining 3 passing through the tubular section 2 serves to keep the same fiat and also to prevent undue stretching of the tubular fabric.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by LettersTatent, is

A necktie comprising tying members, each composed of comparatively light-weight material, an intermediate neck-band member composed of woven material made in the form of a fiat tube, the ends of said tube receiving and secured to the respective tying members, and a strip passing freely through said tubular member and en-- tering the tying members. f

- In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
